So I head up to Montana for a 3 day weekend to look at colleges, and I park my car in the garage so no one will mess with it. :rolleyes: Since it's starting to get hot my parents decided to have the person house sitting for us put the cat in garage at night. Anyways to make a long story short. When I went out to drive my car Sunday I noticed about 2 paw marks with 4 claw running down my driver's side door. mad Then when I looked on the rubber around the window that was just torn the crap out of. So basically I was wondering how can I go about getting these cat scratches that appear to be just clear coat and a little bit of paint deep out? confused It's coming up on time to wax my car so I was wanting to do it soon.

I feel your pain brotha!.. Its rediculous how much damage these bloody cats can do to cars... In addition to the scratches and scuffs, the neighbor's cat also felt me special enough for it to VOMIT at the front of my car mad
I'm considering making my neighbor buy me a car cover!!!

If you can catch your nail on the scratch then it can't be buffed out,through the clearcoat(noy likely from a cat, otherwise a good detailing shop can buff them out.

First off don't touch the cat wink Now about the scratches, if you can't feel the scratch with your thumbnail just use some cleaner wax (Mequiars) and if you can feel it, try some Mequiars Scratch-X wink I'd be pissed off too, but taking it out on the cat, even if you saw the cat do it, will bring you nothing but bad carma eek Stop and think about it, maybe some other varmit got in there, rat, raccoon, etc. Good luck with your car!

Same thing happened to me but with claws down the rear quater pannel. frown
Man first this and then my tranny. I do know it was a cat and even know which one it was. It live in a sewer right next to my carport. Called the apartment people and they said the SPCA will be out to get rid of them. smile
I had another option but nobody seemed to like it. eek
